It was completed in 1930 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.[1] HistoryIn 1929 the city commission called for a public referendum to decide if the city should build bridges over the Boardman River at South Union and South Cass Streets. The referendum passed, and at the same time the state agreed to build the Union Street Bridge. The city commission hired Indianapolis bridge engineer Daniel B. Luten to design the bridge at South Cass. The firms of Aldrich & Cook and Jerome Wilhelm were hired to build the bridge, which was completed in 1930. Dedication plaques were purchased during construction at the request of the American Legion.[2] At some point, the original handrails were removed and jersey barricades were added, detracting somewhat from the original design.[2] However, the bridge is still in use. DescriptionThe American Legion Memorial Bridge is {{convert|68|ft}} long and {{convert|58.5|ft}} wide, with a roadway width of {{convert|40|ft}}.[2] The span is formed by a barrel-vaulted elliptical arch. Sidewalks, supported by concrete brackets, overhang the face of the arch. The original balustrade railings on the bridge have been replaced with planks, but the approaches still contain the original solid-concrete parapets and concrete balustrades with urn-shaped spindles. A plate on one parapet reads: "American Legion Memorial Bridge 1930." See also
